Regarding civil engineering renovations
Thread Content
I would like to ask the experts in civil engineering: Is it possible to add a 1700-mm steel beam to an already constructed concrete column? If so, how can this be done? Should chemical bolts be used on site for this purpose?
It depends on how much the load increases after adding the beams, and at which part of the column they are added There are many methods.
It depends on the specific situation; you need to consider your beams and columns. Generally speaking, it’s possible.
Expansion anchor bolts are currently prohibited from being used for structural reinforcement and renovation. The owner can consider using self-cutting mechanical anchor bolts; chemical anchor bolts are also an option, but it is important to ensure the quality of the structural adhesive. For specific details, one can refer to Xilide’ s technical specifications, as well as the regulations regarding post-anchoring in concrete structures.
